<P nd="1">Yod'm 3D is a virtual desktop manager that allows you to have 4 different desktops arranged on a 3D cube. Holding down CTRL+SHIFT and using the left or right arrow keys rotate the cube showing the virtual desktops. Alternatively, you can click and drag your mouse to switch desktops.<P nd="2"><EMBED pluginspage=http://macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer src=http://images.soapbox.msn.com/flash/soapbox1_1.swf width=412 height=362 type=application/x-shockwave-flash flashvars="c=v&amp;v=71aa123a-8457-4d47-8a4d-1126bfa3b240" wmode="transparent" quality="high"> </EMBED>
Video: TweakVista.com demo of Yod'm 3D*<P nd="3">* Because of the capture software I used, the video is very choppy. Normally, the cube spins very smoothly. <P nd="4">Download this free desktop manager from Chris' Soft. [Edit by kingofnexus: Link no longer workers, scroll down to my post for uploaded zip file]

Actually it is pretty smooth, even though the video isn't. I was using it and it worked great.

I'm gona assume that it probably requires a lot of memory or it will thrash your hard drive like crazy.

Linux ripoff anyone? I'm using it now, it is something rather special, my memory usauge with it is 45%, which is rather high but I dont really mid if i'm not using it. That fact that it can be turned off and on at anytime means theres nothing really to complain about.

One minot point, dreamscene/deskscape does not work with it. Also you have to use a picture the same resolution as your desktop as it reverts to tile mode.
